Object
: town, seaport, temple, european architecture, statue
Regency : buleleng
Site : 3 hours drive from denpasar |

A
small seaport and the capital of Buleleng featuring
tree-lined avenues, quiet residential perimeters,
a wide market street, rows of bright Chinese shops,
and horse-drawn carts amidst frenetic traffic. Singaraja
is reminiscent of Java.
Enjoy beautiful sunsets over the old harbor area.
Walk through the narrow streets and along the seawall
and try to imagine the days when this was one of
the Dutch East Indies' busiest entrepôrts.
Now only a few small fishing and cargo 'perahu'
bob offshore.

Getting
There
Board a minibus from Kintamani or Denpasar to Singaraja
via Bedugul. Go through a hair-raising mountain pass,
descend from a point 1,200 meters above sea level, and
there it is. Another route is via Kintamani in the mountains
through Kubutambahan on the north coast.
Singaraja is also on the shuttle bus route. If traveling
to Lovina from Karangasem, you arrive first at Penarukan
Terminal then take a 'bemo' into Singaraja or across town
to Banyuasri Terminal, then another to Lovina.
